Londonderry

Londonderry
was born for success. He was the sovereign winner of the
stallion licensing in 1997. One year later, the very high
quality son of 2006 Hanoverian Stallion of the Year, Lauries
Crusador xx, was fifth at the stallion performance test,
achieving 134.56 points in the dressage category. In 1999 the
captivating State stallion convincingly won the riding horse
performance test during the German Riding Championships in
Verden and only a short time later he obtained highest results
at the Federal Championships of German Riding Horses in
Warendorf as well. Londonderry is definitely a young stallion of
excellent type and expression, with great talent for
dressage. The first offspring of Londonderry were born in the
year 2000. The foals are clearly shaped by the noble stallion.
They are in all points similar to Londonderry: wonderful in
type, long-legged, beautiful heads and very good movements. In
2003 at the Hanoverian Stallion Licensing 61 stallions were
presented and approved. The champion of the licensing was a
Londonderry/ Weltmeyer cross receiving high marks for suppleness
and his top line. In 2005, Londonderry received a Breeding Value
Index of 157 points, with an assurance of 95% heritability, from
the German Equestrian Federation. In 2006 his sons Locksley II
and Londontime excelled. Locksley II Londonderry/Weltmeyer was
the German Federal Champion at Warendorf of the 4 year old
division and Londontime Londonderry/Walt Disney set a new record
for highest sales price at the Verden Elite Auction selling for
$510,000 euro. Dr. Ludwig Christman had this to say about
Lauries Crusader xx. ”A Thoroughbred stallion like him who in
his first generation produces Grand Prix horses, is very rare.
Already there is Lesotho with Ellen Shulten-Baumer, and Le Beau
in northern Germany with Mr. Koch. Falk Rosenbauer has been
very successful at Prix St. Geroges with Little Big Man.” He
also commented about Weltmeyer, “ Weltmeyer is one of those
staliions that are born only rarely -Absatz, Bolero, Weltmeyer-they
leave their mark on their offspring, they are timeless. It is
just not possible to reproduce such a stallion, you can try to
breed them, but everything has to click and fit for it to
happen. He is the number one stallion.”
